THE CHEETAH
The cheetah is the fastest animal on
land. It can run 100 kilometers an hour. It is
now rare and is one of the animals which is in
danger of extinction.
The cheetah has a small head and ears,
and long, powerful legs. It always hunts and
chases its prey on open ground.
This is a different way of hunting from
the other “big cats.” They like to stay in and
near trees to catch their prey. The cheetah is
